A Study of the Morphological Process in Berom Language

<p>This study presents a descriptive analysis of the Berom language morphological process. Data were sourced from related studies in Berom and other languages and from the intuitive knowledge of the writers who are native speakers of the language. Data analysis reveals that the morphological process in Berom is composed of affixation and compounding. The study also shows that the language has two inflectional prefixes: <strong>be</strong>- &amp; <strong>n</strong>- that are used to mark plural noun and a derivational prefix: <strong>n</strong>- that is used for nominalization. Furthermore, the paper reveals that compounding in Berom can be simple or complex and asserts that simple compounding may generate a different word class while complex compounding realize nouns.</p>
